2 really dumb questions

Okay, when you are reading someone's post, there is a smiley by their name. The smiley is gray if they are offline and yellow if it is online. However, some people have their smiley making alternate faces than just the regular smile. How do you do that? Inquiring minds want to know.

Also, when you want to quote someone that someone else has said, how do you do it so that the quote box has that person's name in it? I CANNOT figure that out. Here, I'm going to quote myself from a post I did in the "Hell's Kitchen" thread:

See? It just says Quote. How do you get it to say "original quote by this dumb fool"?

Thanks. </div></div>

Instead of hitting the "quote" link in the reply box, hit the "quote" link inside the message you want to quote.

I sometimes just type in the code for italics or a quote which is beginning with the [ ] and including "i" or "quote" and ending with [/] and including "i" or "quote". You can include the "original quote by" by typing "quote=witzend" between the first [ ]'s.

BBK, I looked all over and I only saw the two kinds of faces. I have no idea about those other ones.

Im trying to figure out the other smiley faces too...lol. I only see the gray ones and the yellow ones. Now some of us are gray even though we are online simply because we mark ourselves as offline always.

We've got 2 kinds of smiles here... If there's a little yellow smiley to the right of a member's name it indicates that the person is currently online.

The smilies in the upper right corner are "moods." The smiley moods can be controlled using the drop down menu in the upper right of the forum window. Apparently that menu was disabled during the last software upgrade. It has now been enabled just in the nick of time to save Totoro's vocal chords.
